Labor

Labor is prior to, and independent of, capitol. Capital is
only the fruit of labor, and could never existed if Labor had not first
existed. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much higher
consideration. Working men are the basis of all governments, for the plain
reason that they are more numerous. To secure to each laborer the whole
product of his labor, or as nearly as much as possible, is a worthy object
of any good government.Abraham Lincoln
